Heating & Cooling: 52 Micro-Memoirs
Heating & Cooling: 52 Micro-Memoirs | Beth Ann Fennelly
3 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
"Morning: bought a bag of frozen peas to numb my husbands sore testicles after his vasectomy. Evening: added thawed peas to our carbonara." from Heating & Cooling, "Married Love, IV" The 52 micro-memoirs in genre-defying Heating & Cooling offer bright glimpses into a richly lived life, combining the compression of poetry with the truth-telling of nonfiction into one heartfelt, celebratory book. Ranging from childhood recollections to quirky cultural observations, these micro-memoirs build on one another to arrive at a portrait of Beth Ann Fennelly as a wife, mother, writer, and deeply original observer of lifes challenges and joys. Some pieces are wistful, some wry, and many reveal the humor buried in our everyday interactions. Heating & Cooling: 52 Micro-Memoirs shapes a life from unexpectedly illuminating moments, and awakens us to these moments as they appear in the margins of our lives.
